So when Farage rails against the latest migration figures, he's railing against a monster of his own making. The EU didn't impose uncontrolled immigration on us; it offered a framework that reflected geography, economics and reality” ie - control. www.thelondoneconomic.com/opinion/peop...

🇺🇸 🔥 That. Was. Impressive. We are watching America reassert itself and its values from the grassroots up. The world saw you and we have huge hope invested in you.

Fair enough.

Byline Times has been told by various sources that Farage has maintained a close interest in Ukraine’s conflict with Russia… But Farage’s ignorance of this particular set of pro-Russian influencers around Nathan Gill is even more questionable…. bylinetimes.com/2025/10/11/s...

“Terrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.” Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

Now it’s time to kick Russian and American assets out of British politics. Be a patriot. Unlike Nigel. Believe in your country. Not in Trump and Putin

The more Labour stampede right, the emptier the vacuum for the LibDems to go "Let's just ****ing rejoin the EU already!" and snaffle up votes. But it would need to be a loud, proud and sustained message. Not a policy line item on their website, but front and centre in all comms. 2025 is NOT 2019.

UK inflation is 3.4%. Eurozone inflation is 2.0% The Bank of England interest rate is 4.25%. The ECB rate is 2.0% Brexit is costing the government around £50bn a year. We are paying a massive cost for not being in the EU and the Eurozone - higher inflation, interest rates, and taxes.

Latest polls show a steady 57% majority of Britons now favour rejoining the European Union, signalling a significant shift in public sentiment towards renewed EU membership. www.europeans.today/post-brexit-...

Before Brexit the UK was about as rich as Germany, and richer than France. Now it is much poorer than either, by 2030 we will be poorer than Poland, and by 2040 we will be poorer than all 27 EU countries. The magic of Brexit.

I still can’t believe the UK did this to itself. Most importantly - to its youth and their opportunities, chances and aspirations.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING.

Another back door for dark money 💸 With the far right on the rise around the world we need to clean up election funding once and for all

Come along to this, it'll be great. I'm speaking on Sunday 13th, and then launching my new book "Tories: The End of an Error". And for once it's not in the south - it's at Keele University, so I can be home by tea time. Yay! Hope to see you there. www.bylinesupplement.com/p/just-four-...

Before the General Election Labour promised to restore nature. Less than a year in, and the new Chancellor is leading a charge against the natural world Email your MP to remove Part 3 of the Bill AND ask THEM to call out the Chancellor for her attack on nature wtru.st/fix-the-bill

New YouGov poll: - 66% would support the UK having closer relationship with the EU - This includes half of both Leave (52%) and Reform UK (54%) voters - Majority (53%) support Britain rejoining the European Union - Six in ten believe Brexit has been more of a failure than a success

Just to rub it in the snails have even eaten the seed packet!

A Farage-Tory government could be in power in 2029. We can burst Farage's balloon by campaigning for the largest possible anti-Farage vote in the local elections. If you're angry with Labour, then there are the LibDems and Greens. Abstaining helps the fascists. Fight Fascism #Vote4Democracy

Happy Easter!

🚨Email your MP to back my Bill to ban pesticides from public spaces! 🐝🌱 We’re facing a biodiversity crisis and our urban areas can help reverse this decline. 100 councils have already taken action and with proper legislation and guidance, the rest can too. pan-uk.eaction.org.uk/edm-urban-pe...

57% of Britons would rather have the EU as a close trading partner than the US. EU: 57% (+4 from 21 Jan) US: 16% (-5) The world has changed. Starmer needs to wake up. We can help him with a big vote for the LibDems and Greens in the local elections. #RejoinEU

The mainstream media is letting the country down. Badly. If you support Bylines Network as a citizen journalism (ie democratic and pluralistic) alternative... ...then please chip in! We're changing the system. 👇

Starmer wrote in the Express that he is against restoring Freedom of Movement. Please retweet if you want our Freedom of Movement restored. We were robbed of our right to live, work, study, and love in 30 countries by the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history.

Springtime

🇪🇺🇬🇧 Westminster MPs debated a petition to rejoin the EU, with many backing closer ties. Labour’s red lines remain, but momentum for change is growing. 🙌

To move faster towards rejoining the EU or Single Market, we need to break the stranglehold the Brexit right has on Starmer's mindset. We can burst Farage's Brexit bubble by mobilising the largest possible anti-Farage vote in the local elections. Please share the message. #Vote4Democracy

And in the pond!

Spring is in the air

Please share. 🙏🏻

The Zoom on iPhones these days are amazing

Oh perfect place for some good music! Yes I wonder about that too!
